Dig It Up
It is my greatest wish that I might be able to spare my children from the kind of pain that takes root, buries itself deeply and hangs around for a lifetime.
That I might be able to protect their little hearts and minds and souls from anything terrible or hurtful or painful.
And if not in my power to do such things, I wish for the strength and wisdom to stand with them through their pain and help them work through it, so that it doesn't bury itself so deeply that it can't be dug up and rooted out.
No matter – I'll always be there to support and love them through anything life sends their way.
Always.

Oh yes, I have this same hope. I look at my kids' and just want to wrap myself around them and protect them from it all. Beautiful post.

Oh I completely agree. If I'm going to be honest here – I often pray that I'm not the root of their issues. Since I often feel like I will be.

Nell,
I was so touched by your comments to me, thank you.
I've read bits here , and you radiate love. I look forward to spending time here, getting to know you from your older posts, and your beautiful thoughts yet to be.

I was just thinking that today. I want to spare my kids from some of the hurt I know, but even if I can't I'll still be here to help them through it.
